The "23 Enigma" is the Discordian belief that all events are connected to the number 23, given enough ingenuity on the part of the interpreter. It can be seen in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's Illuminatus! trilogy (there called the "23/17 phenomenon"), Wilson's Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati (there called "The Law of 23s" and "The 23 Enigma"), Arthur Koestler's Challenge of Chance, as well as the Principia Discordia. In these works, 23 is considered either lucky, unlucky, sacred to the goddess Eris, sinister, sacred to the unholy gods of the Cthulhu Mythos, or strange. Discordians regard this as a corollary of the Law of Fives.

This is the 23rd post in a topic called "23".

There are a ton of connections in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's Illuminatus Trilogy, which is famous for them. Although I think Aleister Crowley was the weirdo that started to see the weird 23 synchronicities. But it seems like Wilson is more recognized for it.

I currently have 23 hairs on my chest.

Yes, I counted.

God, I need a life...
